According to the data at hand about two thlrda ot this amount was plant ed without a previous knowledge of the history of the seed. It Is there fore Important that the buyers of cotton seed for planting should know the quality of the seed which are being aepured. As the quality determines to a large extent the per centage of germination, and therefore the stand, the prolificacy and freeneaa from dlecese and the final yield. It la Important to know something about the quality before the seed are planted. Variety namne, accompanied with flattering advertising, means too lit tle to be used as a basis for choos 'ng seed. The quality of cotton seed 1? depen<*ont upon the breeding and care used In handling the seed. Before baying cotton seed for planting consider the following ?uestlons: 1. Does my exfrrlence and the experience of my neighbors show that It Is more profitable to grow ?he long staple, the big boll or the *mall boll cotton. 2. Are the seed In question true to variety, or aro they badly mixed? 3. Are the seed free from d!?ea?e ?Hrp-Nilally boll rot or anthracnose* 4. Will the seed give a good vig orous germination?. The North Caroline Experiment Station will be glad to recommend crowern who use cam In handling their seed. For further information write to the North Carolina Experi ment Station.

Since Sunday when In massed formation thev threw themselves against Russia troops holding strong positions, the Auatro-Oermana have attacked a galn is spite of heavy losses. Yesterday, according to the Rus sian official account, the Austrian* delivered furious, but unsuccessful attacks between the Ban and Orda wa rivers, while the Germans made fruitless attempts around Kolilouw ka and Rojanka, At Rojanka they lost two companies, which were sur rounded and annihilated. No estimates have been published of losses sustained by the Germanic armies In their efforts to break thru the Russian lines at these places, but they are believed to have been very large, as the Russian position were almost Impregnable. In the Austrian's attempt to ou* flank the Russians In eastern Ga llcla two Russian official reportr have announced that the Austrlar suffered a severe reverso and that yesterday they lost In prisoner* more than 6,000 men. The Rus sians captured also a number of guns and much transport material On the other extreme wing 1i north Poland the Germans have a? sumed the dofcnslve or are retiring except at Oraoweti. where they con tinue to bombard the fortress. Her lin reports unofficially that here the Germans have silenced two forts Their attempt to approach the el t v however, has been repulsed. The Germans while claiming irue-1 cess near Augustowo, where they | captured 1.500 prisoners admit they have withdrawn their advance guards south of Myssynlec and that the Ruaslans have been feeling their way to tho northward of Prza?ynss.'
